Max Planck Institute for Human Development - Center for Adaptive Rationality
Der Forschungsbereich für Adaptive Rationalität (ARC) vereint eine interdisziplinäre, internationale Forschergruppe, die sich aus Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern der Psychologie, Neurowissenschaften, Ökonomie, Philosophie, Biologie und Mathematik zusammensetzt.
